Sustainable Flatbush partners once again with Sacred Vibes Apothecary to present FREE workshops on using herbs for health and wellness. The series kicks off on Saturday July 12, 2014, with workshops at 10am and 1pm.

This introductory workshop will give you actionable items on how to remember your passions through connection with your body, higher self and ancestors. We have broken this workshop out into three groups: mind, body and spirit. We will use herbs, higher self practices, exercise and energy work to help connect you with your ancestors as our conduit to remembering your passions — thus uncovering your purpose.

1pm: Healing for Healers

Healers…this workshop is especially for you! Join apprentices Carly and Nicole for this important workshop — Healing for Healers: Herbal Self Care for Caretakers.

Are you depleted from healing others? Who takes care of you, the caregiver? This workshop will address the trauma and energetic pain that caregivers and healers often experience from their healing work. Many times we do not realize we have taken on this trauma as our own, and if left unattended, how it can negatively affect our own health and the health of those we care for.

Methods for identifying when this is happening to you will be discussed. Herbal remedies and nutritional recommendations to support and heal yourself will be provided, along with handouts, recipes, and a DIY take home herbal treat! This workshop is appropriate for anyone who provides care for others, whether it is personally or professionally.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

In many of our workshops we spend time making different herbal preparations such as teas, tinctures, oils, and syrups. If you would like to bring some home with you, please bring a clean 2 oz. baby food jar. If you have more than one jar, bring some to share!

It is important to us that our workshops are as accessible as possible. Our outdoor workshops are held in a space with no steps or stairs; however not all walkways are paved. Please contact the e-mail below if you have any accessibility concerns or needs.
